In an age of the vanishing New York City diner — once a staple of the city’s food scene — Viand Cafe went against the trend and on Jan. 9 opened a new such eatery.

The diner’s space, at 517 Columbus Ave., is not far from Viand Cafe’s other location, inside the Hotel Beacon.

“Our landlord is one of our customers, and he gave us a great, 15-year lease,” says Sammy Konstantakopoulos, co-owner of Viand Cafe.

A third spot, once a favorite of ex-Mayor Mike Bloomberg, closed its doors on the UES in 2015.

The Columbus location is 1,700 square feet with 70 seats inside and 45 to 50 seats outside when the weather is warm, added Konstantakopoulos, who grew up in the family diner business and has run Viand for almost 40 years.

“We love what we do, and we will keep doing it — despite rising costs for wages and rent,” he said.
